Remember the limits are different overseas
 

Is that what you took from this? I'm pretty sure a BAC of 0.132% is illegal everywhere.

No, in Hungary and Turkmenistan you're legally allowed to be blacked out until you walk up to the jetbridge, remember?

didn’t realise the article said they were that much over. What I meant was always respect the 8 hour limit and also that .04 is FAA whereas in most Europe countries it’s 0.0

thanks for the better article L8. Wonder how his FO or IRO didn’t even pick up on this at the hotel unless they had separate hotels entirely.

It's been beat to death EVERY TIME this happens.

8 hours has NOTHING to do with it. SURE, it's a rule, but ZILCH.

Pretty sure the limit rule at United is 12 hours. And, not to be a fuddy duddy, but I’ve learned through the years that layover drinking needs to be limited to literally ‘a’ beer. YMMV.

If you’re at UAL, you may want to brush up in your FOM.

I’m hardly a fuddy duddy but If it’s less than 16 hours I don’t even bother with a beer. Just not worth it. Plenty of time for fun at home or the rare 24 hour+ overnight.
